Hatfield was ordained in Fall River, Nova Scotia on July 23, 1889 and preached in numerous locations throughout Nova Scotia and the New England states. He preached in Fall River, Nova Scotia until 1890 and in Jeddore, Nova Scotia from Spring 1890 until August 1891, when he moved to Georgetown, Massachusetts. While Hatfield was serving in Georgetown he attended the Newton Theological School in Newtown Centre, Massachusetts and worked with the National Temperance League from 1891-1893. He also visited Palestine when he attended the American School for Oriental Research in Jerusalem. Hatfield graduated from the Newton Theological School in 1893 and continued to preach in Georgetown until July 1895. He preached in Melrose Highlands, Massachusetts from August 1895 to January 1896 and then then moved to Danielson, Connecticut, where he preached until December 1900. He preached at the Union Baptist Church in Mystic, Connecticut until March 1904. Then he preached at the Central Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York from March 1904 to September 1906.

Hatfield was an amateur photographer who took glass plate photographs of southeastern Nova Scotia and Jerusalem during the early twentieth century. He developed his own photographs and prepared glass plate lantern slides, many of which he coloured by hand. Hatfield toured the eastern United States and gave illustrated presentations titled "The Land of Evangeline: The Land of Romance, Legend, and Picturesque Beauty" and "The Holy Land." He also appeared as himself in the 1940 film "The Ramparts We Watch," directed by Louis De Rochemont.
